Indeed, this is the biggest change the Shannaclan has imposed on this team.

It wasn't Shanny. It was all RGIII.
You are correct DS, it was absolutely RGIII that talked to the team and led the revolution (and was named Captain).


And the Coach had nothing to do with any of this? :roll:

And the Head Coach had nothing to do with any of this? :roll:


We are where we are because of Mike
- he 'persuaded' Snyder to bring in Bruce Allen by indicating that whomever was the HC, he would need a good GM
- then Mike came in to be both a part of the FO and the HC

Mike Shanahan has transformed this franchise

SURE - they made some mistakes but they are the guys that are PRIMARILY responsible for us being in the playoffs this season

The players have done an incredible job and made a HUGE effort to play beyond their own capabilities these past 7 games

The players have done great but Mike & Bruce brought them here and got rid of the guys that did not 'want it' badly enough


we are also VERY fortunate that the IDIOT owner stayed away and let these guys do their thing
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

- This is why you don't release a coach after 2 years...

- This is why you don't compare him to other coaches and what they're doing. Show me another coach in this league that's had to overcome what Mike has. Show me another coaches that's had to cut 150 players in the time frame he has had to.

- Thank you Dan for sticking to your guns and getting a football mind in here.

I think Clemons was with the Eagles when Shanahan got here...

Nope. You don't remember his "evaluate the talent for next year" presser? RGIII called a players only meeting. It had nothing to do with Shanny, other than 44diesel's point about weeding out the bad eggs. But the team coming together at the bye week is all on RGIII.

:lol: fair enough JSPB

AND

Mike ALSO had a team meeting pointing to the challenge ahead AND the opportunity for success just before they got ready to play the 10th game

RG3 brought this up and said it motivated the players to push themselves harder


we're very lucky to have RG3 but he's the captain on a team that Mike is in charge of - both deserve a lot of credit
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance

Willie Smith was a sometimes starter & Roc ky was an important part of the rotation, but his record is still good.

Yeah I like the offensive game plan RGIII put together against the Browns. Also the quality depth he drafted before the season to step up if our starters got hurt. Really amazing how RGIII finally got the defense to respond with all of the blitzes he started calling too.

Deadskins, eh? Smoke a lot of weed back in the day listening to Jerry? A few too many acid hits maybe?

Gee riggo, were we talking about the entire season, you might be justified in your critique, but the conversation was about the impetus for our seven game winning streak. :roll:

And, why just back in the day? -drinking
